toucan

after me and three mates had spent a couple of hours looking around iguazu falls in brazil it was lunchtime and we were all pretty hungry. someone planted a mcdonalds seed in our heads and it was all we could think of, a gnawing craving we couldn't get rid of. we sat at an inferior burger joint by the waterfalls contemplating our next move. we weren't impressed with the food they had there so we broke it down to two options. go to a nearby birdpark which had been recommended to us or get the bus to mcdonalds. the debate went on for a good half an hour, and if i had bowed to peer pressure you'd be looking at a photo of a big mac right now. as it was everyone else left and i hungrily walked round the birdpark on my own. still, when this toucan hopped up towards me i knew that i'd made the correct decision.
